Playing in the PAC means you have to be resilient. Like Loveridge pointed out,
last year the team got a little discouraged after coughing up some losses, but
there's just no room for that.

Delon Wright needs to be more
assertive, offensively. His nature is to let the game come to him, and
obviously he plays really well that way, but he also needs to step up and make
some late-clock tough shots, which he's capable of doing. He has a great
pivot move when penetrating that lets him pirouette away from the defender and
attack the rim. He just needs to develop a back-down fade away jumper he can go
to, while looking for cutters or open shooters.

After playing the 2nd
best PAC team basically to a draw, Utah knows the early schedule's results
weren't a fluke and they can play at this level.
